China posts slowest economic numbers since 1990 due to U.S. trade tensions and new policies. Makes so much sense for China to finally do a Real Deal, and stop playing around!

“Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve...You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. Happy #MLKDay! 8/

And we need to protect DREAMers. In order for the American Dream to be alive and well, we must never forget our great nation was built by the love and hard work of immigrants. 7/

We must make #EnvironmentalJustice a rallying cry in 2019. It's unacceptable that Flint & many other communities across America don’t have clean water or air. Families are drinking & breathing & living toxic materials that can cause serious damage. 6/ https://t.co/z3Ftds1LV6

Cory Booker (@CoryBooker)
The fight for equal access to education must continue. Teachers are not paid enough, the school to prison pipeline still exists, black students are suspended 3x more often than their white peers & still face racial discrimination in schools. We must demand better for our kids. 5/

Cory Booker (@CoryBooker)
Health care is a human right. Grateful that two of my health care bills were signed into law in 2018 but there’s more work to do. In 2019 one thing I'm fighting for is passing my MOMMIES Act—to fix America’s outrageously high maternal mortality rate. 4/ https://t.co/DAtQV7uc22

Cory Booker (@CoryBooker)
King & many other civil rights activists fought for an end to lynching—so this #MLKDay let’s recommit to pushing the Anti Lynching Bill over the final hurdles and get it signed into law. Let’s make 2019 the year lynching is finally a federal hate crime. https://t.co/rAuCS089fV 3/

Cory Booker (@CoryBooker)
Happy #MLKDay! In 2019 we must rise to the challenge King left us, to fighting back, demanding change & continuing the eternal march towards justice and equality. That’s the active way to honor King’s legacy. 1/ https://t.co/YY5IeApP2z

At today’s Alpha Phi Alpha’s 36th Annual Prayer Breakfast, we are reminded that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. showed us that one person has the power to make a profound difference in our community, in our city, in our country. https://t.co/FgB1VswHAW

Shelley Moore Capito (@SenCapito)
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is one of history’s most revered figures—and for good reason. He was a true American icon who fought bravely & tirelessly for freedom and equality, regardless of the adversity he faced. My full statement on remembering him today: https://t.co/b8ZbmoCSrl

Senator Bob Menendez (@SenatorMenendez)
Among the 5,000+ New Jerseyans suffering during the #TrumpShutdown are Atlantic City FAA workers and Cape May Coast Guardsmen and women. We have a simple message for Trump & McConnell: End the shutdown!

Sen. Maria Cantwell (@SenatorCantwell)
Why is it important that we defend the Affordable Care Act? "Loss of the ACA would mean those with pre-existing conditions would likely face more costly insurance coverage, assuming they could obtain coverage.” #ProtectOurCare https://t.co/XVrIrEAHgu

Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer)
The #TrumpShutdown, which hurts the well-being of 800,000 federal workers, has disproportionately harmed African Americans. The best way for @realDonaldTrump to honor Dr. King’s legacy would be to open the government. #MLKDay https://t.co/cXlFAUXxfi

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (@SenatorShaheen)
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dedication to justice awoke the conscience of our nation and changed the course of history. His legacy challenges us to continue fighting for equality and a more perfect union. https://t.co/53YEfNL16X

Doug Jones (@SenDougJones)
In his 1963 Letter from Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King Jr. spoke up for peace, equality, and economic opportunity for all in saying, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” On this #MLKDay2019, let’s remember these values in all we do. - Doug https://t.co/g3VF2513hs

Senator Joe Manchin (@Sen_JoeManchin)
The values of love, unity, and forgiveness that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. preached, are some of the most important values in our society. This #MLKDay I encourage all WVians to reflect on what they can do to make a difference in their community. https://t.co/M1pgDoWAMN

Tammy Duckworth (@SenDuckworth)
It’s on each of us to re-pledge ourselves to Dr. King’s vision. To reject the calls to divide us, and to work to bring about a world where no walls separate us from one another, but where we act with the recognition that we are all tied together by “a single garment of destiny.”

Sen Dianne Feinstein (@SenFeinstein)
In 1994, Congress established #MLKDay as a national day of service to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s lifelong dedication to equality for all. Find a volunteer opportunity near you and help keep Dr. King’s legacy alive. https://t.co/lfzgyZzb0M

Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand)
A pretty amazing thought today: Four women are already running for president in 2020, which will mark exactly 100 years since women gained the right to vote. So proud of how far we’ve come, and excited to see what we’ll do next.

Tim Kaine (@timkaine)
So right now let's look back at some words of his that are particularly resonant today. In September of 1964, he spoke near the Berlin Wall—a wall built smack in the center of Berlin, separating west from east to keep people divided from one another. This is what he said: https://t.co/9smMXRgxLh

Tim Kaine (@timkaine)
Spoken 55 years ago, but still as meaningful as the day Dr. King said those words. While he is no longer with us, his legacy, his example, and his wisdom continue to this very day.

Tim Kaine (@timkaine)
If you turn on the TV right now, you're more likely to hear the words “wall” or “shutdown” than “justice” or “dream.” On a day when we ought to be reflecting about the dreams Dr. King had, we’re instead talking about the 31st day of shutdown and the hatred that compels it.

Cory Booker (@CoryBooker)
Last #MLKDay I sat down with @RepJohnLewis & recorded this podcast with him about his story fighting for civil rgihts alongside MLK. A year later it still holds deep meaning to me. Lewis reminds us: No matter what, we must keep marching. #GoodTrouble https://t.co/gF2AHEZyyr

Senator Chris Coons (@ChrisCoons)
Mr. President, it’s past time for you to re-open the federal government. Americans are feeling significant impacts through no fault of their own. It’s time for this to end. https://t.co/ntMyMTsLUY

Vice President Mike Pence (@VP)
Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a great American leader whose faith & courage moved our Nation toward a more perfect union. Dr. King inspired a movement that changed the course of American history & his example inspires us still today. #MLKDay

Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand)
I can't think a better place to talk about a vision for our country than with one of the greatest advocates and leaders for social justice in the country today. Thank you for your generosity and friendship, @TheRevAl. https://t.co/ni4pOiDipR

Senator Cortez Masto (@SenCortezMasto)
As we honor the life and legacy of Dr. King, let us reflect on the true spirit of his work. Dr. King preached the power of love to drive out hate, but he understood that loving America meant demanding that she live up to the principles upon which she was founded.

Rob Portman (@senrobportman)
In the inspiring words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing” Let us remember the life & legacy of a great man on #MLKDay and also recommit ourselves to being the best we can.

Senator Chris Coons (@ChrisCoons)
Honored to be at @DelStateUniv in Dover celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. with Dr. Mishoe from DSU, Reuben Salters from the Inner City Cultural League, Reverend Paul J. Thomas from the Historic A.M.E. Union Church in Philadelphia, and so many others. https://t.co/rgOdNBPJUH

Senator Pat Toomey (@SenToomey)
Dr. King committed his life to ensuring that liberty is colorblind. He believed one should be judged on their character, not the color of their skin. Thanks to his devotion, wisdom & righteousness of cause, much progress has been made, but there's still work yet to do. #MLKDay https://t.co/XMaBkwkxW9

Sherrod Brown (@SenSherrodBrown)
Found a copy of “Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type” this morning while we were volunteering with @CityYearCLE. It’s one of our family favorites - all of our grandkids have a copy! https://t.co/7jXptNI1dB

Meet my new friend, Orlando Meléndez, the first and only Puerto Rican-born player to ever play for the Harlem Globetrotters. Needless to say I won’t be trying out soon. https://t.co/9t5g5AZF45

Thanks to @DrMichaelLomax and @donlemon for joining us for a five degree #MLKDay morning! An inspiring way to start the day. @UNCF @GeneralMills Scholarships for kids with so much hope following their dreams! https://t.co/S7TdzECSpI

Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand)
Dr. King's life should push all of us to not shy away from the gravest injustices and the toughest fights. This is a moment for all of us to ask ourselves what we are called to do. "Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand)
The fact that black men and women do not earn a dollar on the dollar in the workplace as a white man has to be my fight too. Because if I really care about every child as much as I do my own, then these are my fights to help overcome too.

Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand)
The fact that a black woman in New York City is 12 times more likely to die in childbirth is outrageous, and it's all of our responsibility to fix that. The fact that a young black or brown man is 10 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession is all of our burden.

Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand)
Fighting racism and injustice will take all of us — it cannot be left to people of color alone. White people like me need to take up our part of this burden, and commit to using our voices to amplify those that have been ignored and silenced for too long.

Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand)
Today, so many decades after Dr. King's assassination, we need more than ever to have an honest conversation about racism: not just individual acts, but the systemic, institutional racism infecting our society — our healthcare, education, criminal justice system, and economy.

Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand)
As we honor Dr. King today, we should all think, What am I doing with MY own time here on this earth to serve others? Because he taught us that serving others is the greatest purpose in life. And as he said, “The time is always right to do what is right.”

Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand)
Dr. King continues to inspire us because he believed in values that transcend time and movements: He believed in right vs. wrong; that only light can drive out darkness; that we're all called to fight for others, because an injustice against one is an injustice against all.

Sen. James Lankford (@SenatorLankford)
“Let us all hope the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away & the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear-drenched communities, & in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love & brotherhood will shine over our great nation...” #MLKDay

Ron Wyden (@RonWyden)
Important discussion at last night’s #2019townhall in Clackamas County on the #TrumpShutdown, the need to protect Oregon’s salmon and our public lands among the many topics covered. Thank you to @clackamascounty Commissioners Fischer and Humberston for joining me! https://t.co/lbG1w2t1Pd

Senator Bob Menendez (@SenatorMenendez)
Trump and McConnell may not know the real people they’re hurting, but I do. They’re proud public servants working w/o pay or anxious to get back to the jobs they love. They’re our neighbors and friends, struggling to put food on the table or keep a roof over their heads. https://t.co/CjHw2AjXPS

David Perdue (@sendavidperdue)
Dr. King often reminded us that what unites us is far greater than what divides us. Though we may talk differently, look differently, or have different political views – we are ONE NATION under God. #MLKDay https://t.co/sHWv3QIKop

David Perdue (@sendavidperdue)
Dr. King gave us hope during some of this country’s darkest days. He changed America forever. Today, we celebrate his incredible life, and we thank God for giving us a leader like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. #MLKDay https://t.co/oUggXTde6n

Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul)
Please see this thread from my friend and the Congressman representing Covington, Kentucky. I urge everyone to stop going after people online with very little information, but rather carefully consider the facts here. These kids are taking all sorts of abuse they do not deserve. https://t.co/y8VgRysjiN

Sherrod Brown (@SenSherrodBrown)
Loved participating in a community service project with @ConnieSchultz and @CityYearCLE volunteers this morning. Brought back great memories of our daughters’ time with @CityYear. Thanks to all who are participating in today’s #MLKDay of Service across the country. https://t.co/GAAVu87979

Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer)
Today, we all remember what Dr. King went through, the immense obstacles he overcame. He never lost his faith, his conviction to make America a better place. By ceaselessly fighting against the worst impulses in our country, he inspired the better angels of our nature. #MLKDay https://t.co/LHWJwHEKH9

Tom Udall (@SenatorTomUdall)
Today, we must recommit to fighting injustice & standing up for the values Dr. King worked for— the same values that define New Mexico. Love, understanding, and kindness are the keys to creating a better future for our state and our nation. https://t.co/96NJ4eV6St
